prefork: child states causes long message processing time
Last modified: 2019-09-25 03:19:29 UTC
I am having a problem with one SA server taking exceptionally long to process about 20% of the message. the line "spamd: handled cleanup of child pid 31401 due to SIGCHLD" always appears when it takes a long time to process a message. Below is an example Nov 11 23:11:58 sap01 spamd[26591]: prefork: child states: IIBI Nov 11 23:11:58 sap01 spamd[26591]: spamd: handled cleanup of child pid 31401 due to SIGCHLD Nov 11 23:11:58 sap01 spamd[26591]: prefork: child states: IIB Nov 11 23:11:59 sap01 spamd[31400]: spamd: identified spam (31.7/6.3) for cooncat:4323 in 124.5 seconds, 1566 bytes. Nov 11 23:11:59 sap01 spamd[31400]: spamd: result: Y 31 - HEADER_SPAM,MIME_BAD_ISO_CHARSET,MIME_BOUND_DD_DIGITS,RAZOR2_CF_RANGE_51_100,RAZ OR2_CF _RANGE_E8_51_100,RAZOR2_CHECK,RCVD_HELO_IP_MISMATCH,RCVD_ILLEGAL_IP,RCVD_NUMERIC _HELO,URIBL_AB_SURBL,URIBL_JP_SURBL,URIBL_OB_SURBL,URIBL_SC_SUR BL,URIBL_WS_SURBL scantime=124.5,size=1566,user=coondog,uid=4323,required_score=6.3,rhost=xxxx,rad dr=x.x.x.x,rport=49812,mid =<k2061z9UA0U685U67UF84VCK39355938F836951@>,autolearn=spam
Not a bug. Some messages take a long time, in this case 124s. The SIGCHLD is normal.
